<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking for help to identify a dry N2 generator that can work with the Aquilos II cryo FIB (Thermo Fisher).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It has become a concern that the Aquilos milling operation requires a huge volume of dry nitrogen that makes use of typical cylinders not practical. Because our building does not have a N2 supply source, we will have to purchase and install
one that works with the Aquilos. Our multiple attempts to reach out to Thermo Fisher have not generated any response so far. The following are requirements for the generator, if someone here knows one or uses one that meet the criteria, can you share the information?
much appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
